F.N.B. Corporation (NYSE: FNB) reported earnings for the third quarter of 2025 with net income available to common shareholders of $149.5 million, or $0.41 per diluted common share. Comparatively, third quarter of 2024 net income available to common shareholders totaled $110.1 million, or $0.30 per diluted common share, and second quarter of 2025 net income available to common shareholders totaled $130.7 million, or $0.36 per diluted common share.
On an operating basis, third quarter of 2025 earnings per diluted common share (non-GAAP) was $0.41, excluding ($2.3) million (pre-tax) of significant items impacting earnings. By comparison, the third quarter of 2024 was $0.34 of earnings per diluted common share (non-GAAP) on an operating basis, excluding $0.04 of earnings per diluted common share (non-GAAP) of significant items impacting earnings, and the second quarter of 2025 was $0.36 of earnings per diluted common share (non-GAAP) with no significant items impacting earnings.
“F.N.B. Corporation reported record earnings per diluted common share of $0.41, a 37% increase from the year-ago quarter and 14% increase from the prior quarter, with revenue of $457 million principally driven by growth in net interest income, margin expansion and record non-interest income. Pre-provision net revenue (non-GAAP) grew 11% linked-quarter contributing to positive operating leverage and a peer-leading efficiency ratio (non-GAAP) of 52%,” said F.N.B. Corporation Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Vincent J. Delie, Jr. “Our growing profitability further strengthened capital levels to all-time highs with a CET1 regulatory capital ratio of 11% (estimated), tangible book value per share (non-GAAP) growth of 11% year-over-year and a return on tangible common equity ratio (non-GAAP) of 15%. FNB's performance is supported by our consistent underwriting standards and proactive credit risk management actions, which led to continued solid credit results for the quarter, and by our technology investments. Our investments in digital capabilities, data analytics and Artificial Intelligence enable us to broaden household penetration and increasingly serve as the primary bank for new and existing consumer and commercial clients.”

Third Quarter 2025 Results – Comparison to Prior-Year Quarter
(All comparisons refer to the third quarter of 2024, except as noted)
Net interest income totaled $359.3 million, an increase of $35.9 million, or 11.1%, reflecting growth in earning assets and lower interest-bearing deposit costs, partially offset by lower yields on earning assets. The net interest margin (FTE) (non-GAAP) increased 17 basis points to 3.25%. The yield on earning assets (non-GAAP) decreased 15 basis points to 5.36%, driven by a 24 basis point decline in yields on loans to 5.79%, partially offset by a 41 basis point increase in yields on investment securities to 3.58%. Total cost of funds decreased 33 basis points to 2.23%, with a 42 basis point decrease in interest-bearing deposit costs to 2.66% and a 51 basis point decrease in total borrowing costs. The Federal Open Market Committee lowered the target federal funds rate by 125 basis points since August 2024.
Average loans and leases totaled $34.8 billion, an increase of $1.0 billion, or 3.0%, driven by growth of $994.7 million in consumer loans. Commercial leases increased $100.9 million, or 14.7%, driven by deepening customer relationships and increased activity in the manufacturing industry. Commercial real estate loans decreased $100.9 million, or 0.8%, while commercial and industrial loans increased slightly by $4.5 million, or 0.1%, as the growth in the North Carolina and Cleveland markets was offset by higher loan balance attrition from secondary market activity. The increase in average consumer loans included a $1.1 billion increase in residential mortgage loans largely due to the continued successful execution in key markets and long-standing strategy of serving the purchase market. Average indirect auto loans decreased $222.3 million, reflecting a sale of $431 million that closed in the third quarter of 2024, partially offset by new organic growth in the portfolio.
Average deposits totaled $37.9 billion, an increase of $2.3 billion, or 6.4%. The growth in average interest-bearing demand deposits of $2.1 billion, average time deposits of $261.3 million and average non-interest-bearing demand deposits of $38.2 million more than offset the decline in average savings deposits of $155.9 million as customers continued to migrate balances into higher-yielding products. The funding mix has slightly shifted compared to the year-ago quarter with non-interest-bearing demand deposits comprising 26% of total deposits at September 30, 2025, compared to 27% a year ago. The loan-to-deposit ratio improved to 91% at September 30, 2025, compared to 92% at September 30, 2024.
Non-interest income totaled a record $98.2 million, compared to $89.7 million. Mortgage banking operations income increased $3.6 million, or 65.8%, due to strong sold loan volumes, net positive fair value adjustments from pipeline hedging activity and a mortgage servicing rights (MSR) impairment of $2.8 million in the third quarter of 2024. Mortgage sold production increased 21% from the year-ago quarter. Capital markets income increased $1.7 million, or 27.1%, driven by record debt capital markets and international banking income, as well as contributions from customer swap activity, syndications, public finance and advisory services. Wealth Management revenues increased $1.5 million, or 8.0%, as securities commissions and fees and trust income increased 12.6% and 4.7%, respectively, through continued strong contributions across the geographic footprint. Other non-interest income increased $5.3 million, or 135.6%, primarily due to a $5.4 million recovery on an other asset previously written off as part of a 2017 acquisition.
Non-interest expense totaled $243.5 million, decreasing $5.9 million, or 2.4%. When adjusting for ($2.3) million[1] of significant items in the third quarter of 2025 and $15.3 million[2] of significant items in the third quarter of 2024, operating non-interest expense (non-GAAP) increased $11.6 million, or 5.0%. Salaries and employee benefits increased $5.5 million, or 4.4%, primarily reflecting strategic hiring, continued investments in our risk management infrastructure, and higher production-related compensation. Outside services increased $1.7 million, or 6.8%, due to higher volume-related technology and third-party costs. Other non-interest expense increased $3.7 million, or 17.4%, on an operating basis (non-GAAP) reflecting the impact of Community Uplift, a mortgage down payment assistance program that also includes commitments from our previously announced settlement agreement with the Department of Justice.
The ratio of non-performing loans and OREO to total loans and OREO decreased 2 basis points to 0.37%. Total delinquency decreased 14 basis points to 0.65%. Overall, asset quality metrics continue to remain at solid levels.
The provision for credit losses was $24.0 million, compared to $23.4 million. The third quarter of 2025 reflected net charge-offs of $19.7 million, or 0.22% annualized of total average loans, compared to $21.5 million, or 0.25% annualized, reflecting continued proactive management of the loan portfolio. The ACL was $437.3 million, an increase of $17.1 million, reflecting overall loan growth and a stable ratio of the ACL to total loans and leases at 1.25%.
The effective tax rate was 21.3%, compared to 21.4% in the third quarter of 2024.
The CET1 regulatory capital ratio was 11.0% (estimated) at September 30, 2025, and 10.4% at September 30, 2024. Tangible book value per common share (non-GAAP) was $11.48 at September 30, 2025, an increase of $1.15, or 11.1%, from $10.33 at September 30, 2024. AOCI reduced the current quarter tangible book value per common share (non-GAAP) by $0.22, compared to a reduction of $0.43 at the end of the year-ago quarter.
Third Quarter 2025 Results – Comparison to Prior Quarter
(All comparisons refer to the second quarter of 2025, except as noted)
Net interest income totaled $359.3 million, an increase of $12.1 million, or 3.5%, reflecting growth in earning assets, lower cost of funds and the impact of one more day in the quarter. The total yield on earning assets (non-GAAP) increased 3 basis points to 5.36%. The total cost of funds decreased 3 basis points to 2.23%, as the cost of interest-bearing deposits remained stable at 2.66% and total borrowing costs declined 6 basis points to 4.65%. Total average borrowings declined $423.7 million primarily due to the $350 million senior note offering that matured in August 2025 and the funding mix shift reflecting the growth in average deposits. The resulting net interest margin (FTE) (non-GAAP) was 3.25%, a 6 basis point increase from the prior quarter.
Average loans and leases totaled $34.8 billion, an increase of $311.8 million, or 3.6% annualized, as average consumer loans increased $431.2 million, or 13.0% annualized, and average commercial loans and leases decreased $119.4 million, or 2.2% annualized. The decrease in average commercial loans and leases included a decrease of $107.6 million in commercial real estate and $19.0 million in commercial and industrial loans reflecting elevated loan attrition in the secondary markets, partially offset by a $13.0 million increase in commercial leases. For consumer lending, average residential mortgages increased $384.4 million driven by continued seasonal growth in mortgage originations and average consumer home equity lending increased $45.7 million, or 12.9% annualized.
Average deposits totaled $37.9 billion, an increase of $766.5 million, due to organic growth in new and existing customer relationships. The increases were due to growth in average interest-bearing demand deposits of $375.2 million, average time deposits of $254.2 million, average non-interest-bearing deposit balances of $92.7 million and average savings deposit balances of $44.4 million. The mix of non-interest-bearing demand deposits to total deposits was stable at 26% for both September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025. The loan-to-deposit ratio improved to 91% at September 30, 2025 compared to 92% at June 30, 2025.
Non-interest income totaled a record $98.2 million, an increase of $7.2 million, or 7.9%, from the prior quarter. Mortgage banking operations income increased $2.9 million, or 45.6%, primarily due to strong sold loan volumes. Capital markets income increased $1.0 million, or 14.2%, driven by record debt capital markets and international banking income, as well as contributions from customer swap activity, syndications, public finance and advisory services. Other non-interest income increased $3.2 million, or 53.3%, primarily due to a $5.4 million recovery on an other asset previously written off as part of a 2017 acquisition.
Non-interest expense totaled $243.5 million, a decrease of $2.7 million, or 1.1%, compared to the prior quarter. When adjusting for ($2.3) million[3] of significant items in the third quarter of 2025, operating non-interest expense (non-GAAP) decreased $0.4 million, or 0.2%. Salaries and employee benefits increased $1.7 million, or 1.3%, reflecting increased performance-related compensation while net occupancy and equipment decreased $2.5 million, or 5.2%, primarily due to lower fixed asset depreciation. The efficiency ratio (non-GAAP) totaled 52.4%, down from 54.8% in the prior quarter.
The ratio of non-performing loans and OREO to total loans and OREO increased 3 basis points to 0.37%, and delinquency increased 3 basis points to 0.65%. Overall, asset quality metrics continue to remain at solid levels. The provision for credit losses was $24.0 million, compared to $25.6 million. The third quarter of 2025 reflected net charge-offs of $19.7 million, or 0.22% annualized of total average loans, compared to $21.8 million, or 0.25% annualized, reflecting continued proactive management of the loan portfolio.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators
To supplement our Consolidated Financial Statements presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as operating net income available to common shareholders, operating earnings per diluted common share, return on average tangible equity, return on average tangible common equity, return on average tangible assets, tangible book value per common share, the ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets, pre-provision net revenue (reported), operating pre-provision net revenue, efficiency ratio, and net interest margin (FTE) to provide information useful to investors in understanding our operating performance and trends, and to facilitate comparisons with the performance of our peers. Management uses these measures internally to assess and better understand our underlying business performance and trends related to core business activities. The non-GAAP financial measures and key performance indicators we use may differ from the non-GAAP financial measures and key performance indicators other financial institutions use to assess their performance and trends.
These non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplemental in nature, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of non-GAAP operating measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included later in this release under the heading “Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators to GAAP.”
Management believes certain items (e.g., FDIC special assessment) are not organic to running our operations and facilities. These items are considered significant items impacting earnings as they are deemed to be outside of ordinary banking activities. These costs are specific to each individual transaction and may vary significantly based on the size and complexity of the transaction.
To facilitate peer comparisons of net interest margin and efficiency ratio, we use net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis in calculating net interest margin by increasing the interest income earned on tax-exempt assets (loans and investments) to make it fully equivalent to interest income earned on taxable investments (this adjustment is not permitted under GAAP). Taxable-equivalent amounts for 2025 and 2024 were calculated using a federal statutory income tax rate of 21%.
